                        LO HOW A ROSE E'ER BLOOMING (Traditional)

This is a great Christmas tune.  You can play partial or full chords -
both sound great.  I've provided a tab, but strumming works well also.
The first F is a hard reach - if you want you can just play standard F,
or if you're quick, use xx7565.

I prefer to play this with the capo at the fourth fret - it gives it a
nice ring.  Enjoy.
